While some chapters cover obvious highlights like the Cobras and Ford GTs, others are devoted to seminal victories at places like Sebring, Daytona and Le Mans. I believe, however, that the most interesting chapters cover the people who played key roles in making the Shelby American name, personalities like Ed Hugus, John Morton, Ken Miles, Bill Krause and Henry Ford II.\u00a0Evans\u2019s relationship with Shelby gave him unprecedented access, and when his \u201cinsider\u201d viewpoint is combined with images from team photographer Dave Friedman and Shelby\u2019s own scrapbooks, the result is a unique view of a great American automotive success story.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Available for $39.95 (plus $5.95 s\/h) directly from the author at 800 S.
